This series of books is wonderful! I became interested in reading them after seeing the movies directed by Michael Landon, Jr. The movies are good, but the books are even more inspiring. The characters is the stories have a way of drawing you in and making you want to have a closer walk with the Lord. These novels do have romantic elements, but they are more about a godly family and the lives that they lead than anything. Janette Oke does a wonderful job with the stories. You will fall in love with the Davis family. But beware, once you start reading, it will be difficult to put the books away. Great historical fiction!
